Every baby, infant and child will experience various disorders of the abdomen and gastro-intestinal system. This is inevitable. The ones we have already discussed are among the more common. However, there is a huge list of others. The average child will not be involved in these, but without doubt a certain number of little ones are destined to contract one of them. Diagnosis is often difficult, and even doctors expert in the field of baby care may be hoodwinked and find the exact diagnosis takes time and many tests.
Only a few of the important but less common abdominal disorders are described on the following pages. It is not an exhaustive list of complaints, nor does it give more than brief general information. But it may offer some extra detail if a parent hears of the complaint or wishes to have some added knowledge.
As I have emphasized earlier, this book is intended to be used only as a general guide. It is not a do-it-yourself compendium, and is not intended to be used that way. Whilst many simple ailments may be treated at home by parents, others require proper medical diagnosis and supervision in treatment. Never begrudge money or time spent in having the best possible attention for your child. It may pay handsome dividends and may be life-saving.
